This set features “Layered Brushes”; This method packages multiple layers of brushes into a graphic style. In this case one problem with having the pearls as a standard brush is that you don’t have much control over the orientations of the highlights vs the reflections of the pearls on either side. As a traditional pattern brush the highlights flip upside down and sideways when you apply it to a circle (Killing the realism)

Not only do layered brushes fix that problems, they also provide lots of options in color( like two color, three color and multicolor strands). You can also make style variations like big and small. That’s why I think of layered brushes as ‘brushes on steroids’. You don’t have to worry about how it works, you can just create a path and apply the layered brush to get a strand of pearls!

So whether it’s multi-strand pearl necklaces, bracelets or some other kind of pearl accent, this is the perfect set to help you get your pearl on.
